A Request for Assistance
I've been wanting to start a new website for a while now.
For the longest time, I delayed on starting it because I just wasn't sure exactly how I wanted to use my new website. In other words, I was uncertain as to what its main focus would be.
This uncertainty stemmed from the idea that I needed to choose a "niche". Problem with that approach is that I have way too many interests and ideas I wanted to explore via my new website to narrow it down to a single niche. I didn't want to limit myself in this way. All I knew for certain is that I wanted my new website to be helpful and inspire the world at large.
Sometime in November or December of 2009, my new website's focus and approach dawned on me! I was very excited about it then, and still am, yet I'm encountering blocks in regards to bringing it into reality.
My main stumbling blocks revolve around my lack of knowledge in using WordPress and in setting up a layout I desire. I have a fairly specific layout in mind, but I don't know how to implement it. I could spend hours learning all the ins-and-outs and how-to's in order to make my website look the way I want. Yet it drives me mad at the thought of doing so - I don't want to waste my time on such an endeavor. I'd rather devote my time to creating the content itself, and getting my message out. I don't want to put things off any further.
My Request for Assistance is this:
I'd like someone to help me set up and create my new website - to assist me in laying the foundation upon which my website will be built. Using livejournal is so intuitive and easy - I'm looking for an interface that is equally as simple. I don't want to continue using LJ, however, because it's limiting and I can't do what I want and still continue to use LJ.
Sometimes I have no problems asking for help or for directions.
Other times, I can be quite stubborn, wanting to figure things out on my own and refusing help.
Right now, it's making me uncomfortable to ask for such help, because I'd really like to be able to do this on my own - I'm confident I CAN do this on my own, if I was willing to put in a lot of time into the learning process. But at the moment, my time is more precious to me and I'd much rather be spending it in other ways...
If some generous soul or souls out there would like to assist me in my endeavors, I'd be truly grateful.
Thanks!
